The site is using a webfont "protection" technique that was mentioned in a comment here a couple months ago, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20708371 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20708371. It's a terrible idea.
- paulddraper 7y agoAh, this explains the other times I've seen this.
- NoodleIncident 7y agoThat "DRM" doesn't seem any more secure than ROT13... can we trace this terrible idea back to its source? I can't believe more than one person would come up with it by themselves.
- robin_reala 7y agoHuh. I helped implement something similar on the site I work on, but for entirely user focused needs, without realising that it would be potentially problematic in certain renderers. Will have to check today, thanks for the heads up.
